Each award will contain four different amounts — $500, $200, $100 and $50. Recovery time periods for the brown shrimp are; Aug. 1-Sept. 30; Oct. 1-Nov. 30; Dec. 1 - Jan. 31, 1979; and Feb. 1-April 30, 1979. The awards will be made approx imately two weeks after the closing of each recovery period. “It is anticipated that more than 10 percent of the tagged shrimp will be recovered,” says Tom Moore, chief of the coastal fisheries for the Texas Parks and Wildlife Depart ment. “Each person returning a tagged shrimp will receive informa tion on when and where the shrimp was released in return for providing information on when and where the shrimp was caught. Texas A&M University’s new police chief John “Russ” McDonald plans to step up the campus crime prevention program this school year. McDonald, 47, who was named chief of the University police force last week, replaces O.L. Luther who died in early June. McDonald served as acting police chief until his appointment as chief by President Jarvis Miller. Thefts are the biggest problem on campus right now, McDonald said. He plans to have his men make periodic checks on the locks used in the campus buildings. He also in tends to study the procedure of issu ing keys. “We have stepped up our inspec tions of buildings both day and night to prevent burglaries or thefts,” McDonald said. McDonald went to a crime pre vention school in March and said he intends to send as many of his offi cers there as possible. “Every school I can get one of my officers in without sacrificing our mission here I will, McDonald said. McDonald also plans to give talks to organizations on campus to tell them how to keep dorm rooms and apartments more secure. Another area on which McDonald intends to concentrate is reduction of vehicle accidents. He is presently conducting a study on the number and types of accidents on campus and hopes to find ways to prevent them. He said that there have been 277 accidents on campus to date this school year and that the major cause has been failure to yield right of way. “I have instructed my officers to especially be on the lookout for this violation so that we can keep it under control,” he said. McDonald, who has been with the A&M police force for three years, says he has watched traffic violations grow with the rising stu dent population. He especially noted an increase in parking violations and said that 100 to 150 tickets are issued each day. McDonald came to the police force in October 1975 and was named a sergeant in August 1976. Although his work on the A&M force is the only experience he has had in law enforcement, McDonald says his Army training has helped him in this job. He said the chains of command in the two organizations are similar.
